Rare Stone Island jackets owned by fans are going on sale in central London.

Stone Island, the Italian outerwear brand owned by Moncler, the Italian luxury group, takes over The Corner Shop at Selfridges, the London department store, on Sept. 21. The residency runs until Nov. 6, a six-week stretch, according to WWD.

It is called “Selected Works ’982—’026, Stone Island: The Collector Series.” The store says it is the brand’s first formal collaboration with collectors. Instead of a standard pop-up, private collectors will sell personally curated vintage pieces in the space.

How it works is simple. Each collector gets the shop for a week. Each brings their own view of the Stone Island archive, meaning past-season pieces kept for reference, study and resale.

The eight participants are Arco Maher, Better Gift Shop, ’bout, 194 Local, Louis Holsgrove, Metallic Curtain, Pezze and SimJae. Expect very different rails. One week leans workwear. The next leans deep-cut research fabrics.

Old meets new throughout. Collector archives will sit alongside pieces from Stone Island’s fall 2026 collection. Select garments from Stone Island’s own archive will also be on sale, with provenance and individual histories highlighted.

For hunters, the list is strong. Vintage highlights include a reflective jacket from spring 1993, Monofilament Camo from fall 2001, and the fall 1989 Ice Jacket in Thermosensitive Fabric, a material designed to change colour with temperature.

Three products made only for Selfridges will be offered during the takeover. They are a hand-treated leather organza burnt orange parka, a reflective treatment denim research jumpsuit, and a panno speciale stand collar jacket.

The Corner Shop interiors were designed by Willo Perron. The space sits inside Selfridges London and regularly hosts rotating brands and ideas.

What makes this stand out is who is doing the selling. Collectors usually trade among themselves. Here they take the shop floor, with the brand’s past and present side by side for anyone to walk in and browse.
